Re: G7 X III (and maybe G9 X III) arriving in early 2019 (RUMOR)

If Canon will push the G7X III a bit in the the direction of the RX100 VI, then it's probably something I'm into. At least if they address the biggest flaw of the RX100 VI.

I think the G7X II is great, and the extra reach over the RX100 III/IV was a deciding factor for me back then. The touch screen and general better user interface was also something that appealed to me.

Now I'm in the mood for downsizing my gear (because of a lot of travelling with just hand luggage). My ILC-cameras and zooms are to bulky and heavy, and I shoot primarily with my Fuji X100F. I love it, but I feel the need of a small camera with a bit of zoom-capability, that can handle the occasionally wider and tighter shots, at least in daylight.

For now, the G7X II can do the trick for me, but I sometimes miss a little bit more reach and a panorama function (or a bit wider lens). I was really close to pull the trigger on a refurbished RX100 VI at B&H, but with the rumors of the G7X III in the back of my head, I think I'll wait for the specs to hit the streets.
